Gold for Germany, Silver for the Netherlands!

And Linda Zang will be the guest of honor at the champagne party of the Germans tonight.:cool:

Right…bronze for the Americans. And right again…I’m sure the world is shocked!!!

when will we know the individual results?

Hey, Horsedances–what do you mean? Is there some thought that the scoring or placings were inappropriate or that the Germans were “helped” by Ms. Zang?

I think the Dutch judge had the German team first, too, right?

Why is the US bonze a surprise?

Look who is their coach. I expected it, no surprise at all. The surprise is how far they are still away from the top 2 nations.

Look who is the coach
